So, I wake up and I see I got an email from Swim Outlet. The subject header says, 'New 2010 Racing Suits."I clicked on the email and there I saw the photo of the January 2010 "racing suits" featured above!
"Oh noes, it's really happening!" There will be be no Easter bunny, no US Calvary coming over the hill, or some Deus ex Machina to save technical suits for another year.
So I go to work, talk to Clay Evans in the afternoon about it and he yelled at me for five-minutes about how rotten speedsuits are, about how unfair they are, and how they corrupt kids too...
Well, actually he only ranted for 30-seconds but he went over the same 30-seconds, 10-times.
Sort of like a workout set: 10-rants on the :30, raise your voice 1-5, and then do it again 6-through-10 - Ready, goooo!
So, I come home and I see that Swimming World has a post that FINIS is having a polyurethane speedsuit sale of their newly approved AMPhibian Tech Suit.
Here is what I read:

TYR and b70 have much better looking product, but I hope I can fix that with some oleophilic spray paint!
Ultimately price point has made me switch brands for a while. I will post a review when I get it in a week or so. :-)
